Chapter 851: Shift in Focus

This time, Li Guangyu began to inspect several countries in Western Europe, and invested such a huge amount of money in the United Kingdom, which also marked that the Li consortium officially began to shift its development focus to the Western European market.

The Lee consortium has also expanded from a regional consortium to the world, competing with European and American consortiums in various markets.

Even if Li Guangyu has always hoped that the Li consortium can compete with the world's top consortium in the 90s as much as possible, the development of the Li industry and the changes in the world situation will obviously not be transferred by his will.

For example, this time, he can only enter the Western European market in advance, this is a good opportunity for him, he does not want to miss this time, if it is not for the British government's intention to carry out privatization reforms, how can he have the opportunity to take down the British Telecom Group.

Although the British Telecom Group will be regulated by the British government, it will not affect his management of the group, let alone his profits.

As the scope of the Lee consortium's business becomes more and more extensive, and the Li consortium and the European and American consortiums will compete more and more, Li Guangyu obviously will not let his group stick to the Asian region and be in a passive defense.

Although there is still a big gap between the Lee consortium and some consortia in Japan, the United States, and Western Europe, the industries under the Lee consortium are basically not listed, and it is impossible for the Wall Street wolves to eat the Lee consortium at once.

The most important thing is that the enterprises under the Li consortium rarely take out loans to operate, there is not much pressure on funds, and the ability to resist risks is extremely strong.

As long as they survive these few years, after 87 and 89 years, the Li consortium will no longer worry about funds, and the mainland market will be good at that time, and Li Guangyu will have enough confidence to compete with those consortiums.

The Lee consortium currently has such a good development opportunity, and Li Guangyu has to thank the Japanese and American consortiums, it is they who have dragged each other down, so that Li Guangyu can let go of the market in Southeast Asia.

Without the U.S. consortium, the Southeast Asian market would only become the preserve of several major Japanese conglomerates, rather than Japan's single-minded competition with the U.S. conglomerates in the North American market, where the market would also be occupied by the U.S. conglomerates, and the development of the Lee consortium would be even more difficult.

On the Western European side, several countries are currently in economic weakness, and some Western European consortia are now recuperating and preparing to take a share of the next government economic reforms, and there is not much energy to compete with the Li consortium at this time.

In addition, the main strength of the Li consortium is currently in the United Kingdom, and those consortia in Western Europe do not have too many interest disputes with the Li family, and now the Li consortium does not have much pressure.

Moreover, Li Guangyu is more likely to befriend the large Western European forces, and the main competitor of the Li consortium in the future will mainly be the American consortium, and as long as Li Guangyu has the heart to enter the high-tech field, he will not be able to avoid competition with the American consortium.

Whether it is the chip industry, the mobile phone industry, the Internet industry, and the communication industry in the future, it will compete with the American consortium.

Li Guangyu not only has to form an alliance with the Southeast Asian consortium and the Japanese consortium, but also needs some allies in Western Europe, so as to ensure that the products of the Lee consortium can not be restricted in these markets, and with this vast market, there will be no worries about the special targeting of the Lee consortium by the US consortium in the United States.

At present, the Lee consortium has two main competitors in Western Europe, one is the French Carrefour Group, and the other is the West German Volkswagen Group.

The Carrefour Group was established by the Fournier family and the Devore family, and now the two families have a good influence in France, although after the group went public, the two families occupy not a lot of shares in the Carrefour Group, and now Carrefour is still the master of these two families.

The Volkswagen Group is currently held by the West German federal government and the state government with 20% of the shares, and other individuals are not allowed to hold more than 5% of the shares of the Volkswagen Group, so the Volkswagen Group is firmly controlled by the government.

At present, among the automobile groups in Western Europe, the biggest competition of Bentley Group is the Volkswagen Group, especially in the mainland market, and the competition between the two is quite fierce.

And with the passage of time, the Li consortium and Lokia and Ericsson Group will also become competitors, whether it is the mobile phone industry or the communications industry, it is impossible to back down for the sake of the market.

With the continuous increase of the Li consortium industry, there will be more competitors in the future, in the face of the complex world situation, Li Guangyu can only rely on a superficial understanding of his previous life to try to avoid major losses in his consortium.

Putting aside the sinister situation that the Li consortium will face in the future, the problems on the Xiangjiang side are causing Li Guangyu a headache.

Li Guangyu had just had breakfast with his family in the morning, and Gan Qin reported to him what had happened in Xiangjiang.

Li Guangyu knew that HSBC and Standard Chartered would definitely not want to sit still, but he didn't expect to make a big fuss about the Tianyu Bank issue this time.

The focus of this attack is that Tianyu Bank is not a listed company and is not transparent enough to the outside world, and allowing Tianyu Bank to have the right to issue Hong Kong dollar notes is irresponsible to Heung Kong Finance and the more than 5 million citizens of Heung Kong.

As the flagship of the Li consortium, Tianyu Financial Group, Li Guangyu never thought of listing this group.

Since Tianyu Financial Group is personally controlled by Li Guangyu and is not subject to strict supervision by government departments like listed companies, and HSBC and Standard Chartered have added fuel to the fire, this problem will be amplified wirelessly, which is likely to lead to Tianyu Bank not being able to obtain the right to issue Hong Kong dollar notes.

As the center of the Li consortium, Tianyu Bank has a strategic position in the Li consortium, and Li Guangyu will never list the Tianyu Financial Group.

Li Guangyu said to Gan Qin: "You inform Li Xuemei that she is fully responsible for the affairs of Xiangjiang, and if Tianyu Bank can't do it, it will be replaced by Xiangjiang Bank, and Xiangjiang Bank can be listed." ”

At the beginning, Li Guangyu also intended to support the Bank of Hong Kong to win the right to issue notes in Hong Kong dollars, because the Bank of Hong Kong has a greater advantage, and the bank has many shareholders, and once the issue of Hong Kong is settled, the bank will be listed, so there is no need to worry about these public opinions.

Although the biggest beneficiary of the Bank is Li Guangyu, compared with the wholly-owned ownership of Tianyu Bank, Li Guangyu's shares in the Bank are too small, which is not in the interests of the Li consortium.

You must know that this time for the Hong Kong dollar issuance right, their Li consortium has paid a huge amount of effort and price, and now the Xiangjiang consortium is enjoying the results, and the senior management of the Li consortium is at least not very happy.

However, now public opinion is indeed extremely unfavorable to Tianyu Bank, and a bank that has not been listed on the stock market has obtained this right and interest, and the people of Xiangjiang are not very relieved, and as a last resort, the Li consortium can only let Xiangjiang Bank take this right and interest.

After all, Li Guangyu is also the biggest beneficiary over there, and Tianyu Bank does not want to go public, so it can only adopt this method.
